Song Connections / Remixes

  • The beatmania IIDX 3rd style Original Soundtrack version of Cold Pulse doesn't feature the vocal samples heard in the scratches in some of the in-game charts.

Trivia

  • Cold Pulse is the first BEMANI song credited to two different aliases of the same artist in collaboration with each other (not including self-remixes, such as those in beatmania completeMIX 2).
  • Cold Pulse's video is the first one in beatmania IIDX made by Yuji Takahashi, who had been with the series since substream as a CGI artist.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

Quadra with DJ FX.
For long-time beatmania fans, isn't it tearful just looking at this artist name?
If you listen to this track, you'll find it more tearful
The fusion of Quadra's beautiful ambient sound and DJ FX's hard beats, is exactly a must-listen!

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

This is VJ YUZ's first movie he participated in as a IIDX team member, who supervised the overall visuals of 3rd style (while working as the main designer in another team, he gave me advice, taught me techniques, and helped GOLI and I with various tasks)!

When you try to catch the flow of a song, each sound that composes it slips through the gaps of your consciousness, and can't be grasped.
This VJ YUZ-created movie not only shows the dynamism of the entire song as a whole (it's usually up to this level. For example, myself...), but each sound is also precisely collected and visualized.
This results in an extremely high-dimensional movie, with the effect of repeatedly amplifying and expanding your feelings from the music.
I was so shocked when this movie was sent to me near the end of production, that I lost myself, and I remember repeatedly watching it until GOLI returned from the convenience store late at night and called out to me.
